Hi Trevor,

 

I eventually got that figured out; and moved onto virtual wiki group membership problems (the next day; Sergui helped resolve those remaining problems); my bad I shoulda mailed back that the initial virtual issue was resolved.

 

I would suggest the documentation on this point needs to be emphasized though as it kinda moves away from the case sensitive a bit (only documentation available at the time was the FAQ entry). 

Being that XWiki is a case sensitive application, when your databases are all in lowercase (far as names are concerned), I would have expected the names to follow the same pattern.

 

Thanks for clearing up why it requires this; it's good to see along with the "how to do" every so often.  Now if I can just figure out the PDF formatting, my users will be beaming with cheer ;)

Brandon,

The XWiki documents are case sensitive. Instead of XWiki.XWikiServerxwiki_brd, create XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki_brd.

As you can see in this function in XWiki.java, the first letter after "XWikiServer" must be capitalized:

 public static String getServerWikiPage(String servername) {
        return "XWiki.XWikiServer"
                + servername.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase()
                + servername.substring(1);
    }

Hi folks,
Having a little trouble setting up a virtual wiki - not sure how many out there have tried. 
My current configuration:
I have three separate wiki instances pointing to different databases.  These are currently running 0.9.840, but are due for upgrade to 10beta1 in the near future.

The real performance improvement we need to implement though is virtual wiki instead of full instances.  As the databases already contain a lot of data, we were planning to use the existing databases for the new virtual wiki's.

I'm following the directions found here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToSetupVirtualWikis.
I've tested prior to configuration that the new pointers are working: all my virtual domains are pointing to my main wiki:

        1) general.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com [database xwiki]
        2) production.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com [database xwiki_ext]
        3) broadband.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com [database xwiki_brd]

The setup is pretty much as defined in the docs.
The three documents created:
XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki
        server field "general.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com"
        owner field "XWiki.Admin"
XWiki.XWikiServerxwiki_brd     
        server field "broadband.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com"
        owner field "XWiki.Admin"
XWiki.XWikiServerxwiki_ext     
        server field "production.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com"
        owner field "XWiki.Admin"
Additionally, "xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" points to the same server (but is not configured as a virtual server anywhere).

Here's the odd thing: "general.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" (the Xwiki database) works perfectly, but for both of the other virtual servers I get the following error (substitute xwiki_ext for xwiki_brd when trying the broadband one):

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 2 in 0: The wiki xwiki_ext does not exist
